AARON MARCUS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGN OR TO JOSEPH LEVY AND AARON MARCUS, A PARTNERSHIP DOING BUSINESS AS LEVY AND MARCUS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

NECKTIE.

I To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AARON MARCUS, a

citizen of the United States, who residesin Brooklyn, Kings county, and State of York city, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Neckties, of which the following is a specification. 1

The object of my invention is toprovide a necktie which will be made of three pieces,

one at each end cut on a bias and a central intermediate portion of slippery cloth, such as sateen, which will slip easily when being adjusted upon the neck of a wearer and between the parts of a turned down collar.

These and other objects are accomplished by my invention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter set forth. For a more particular description of my invention, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which' Figure 1 shows the inside of my improved tie in the back; and Fig. 2 shows the outside of' the same,that is, the front. Figs. 3 and 4 are enlarged views, showing where the ends come into contact with the intermediate portion, Fig. 3 showing the front and Fig. 4 the back. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are sectional views taken on the lines 5-5, 66, and 7-7 respectively of Figs. 3 and 4.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

My improved tie 1 may be made in many forms. In one, it has a large end 2 and a smaller end 3 which are united by an intermediate portion 4 in a manner which will be described below. The ends 2 and 3 are made of good material cut on a bias and contain all of the tie which shows when worn. The intermediate portion 4 is made of cheaper and smoother material and is preferably not cut on' a bias so that it will be strong and will slip easily when the tie is adjusted upon the collar of the wearer, and within the collar of the wearer, when it is a turned-down collar. In addition to the parts2, 3 and 4, there is a lining 5 which somewhat stifi'ens and strengthens the tie. These parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 are put together in a manner which will now be described. The I ends 2 and 3 are first cut on a bias, as

folded over the same, as indicated in Fig.

1. The connecting portion 4 is then put in place as shown in Fig. 2 and secured in place, so as to secure the ends 2 and 3 and has its intermediate parts with edges overlapping on the "front of the. tie, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The ends 2 and 3, and the intermediate part 4 are held together by suitable stitches 6, which, are preferably blind and the lining 5 is held true with regard tothe intermediate part 4 by means of suitable rows of stitches 7, as shown. Where the edges-of the intermediate portion overlaps between the ends 2 and 3, the preferably secured by blind stltches 8.

From the foregoing, it is evident that my improved tie is composed of a lining and three parts of exposed cloth, two of, which are cut on a bias and are of superior quality, and the connecting part is cut straight and not on a bias, and is preferably made of a slippery cloth, as sateen, so that the tie may be easily adjusted to the collar of the wearer. When the tie is made as above described, it is made of expensive material at the ends and cheaper material in the middle, so that "the best possible display may be had at the smallest possible cost. These and other advantageflow from my improved construction, as above set forth.

While I have shown anddescribed one embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that it is not restricted thereto, but is broad enough to cover all structures that come within the scope of the annexed claims.

What I claim is:

1. A necktie having separate ends with edges, an intermediate portion connecting the ends and covering part of their edges at the rear of the tie, with adjacent edges of the intermediate portion secured on the face of the tie.

2. In a necktie, a separate lining, separate ends with edges, and a separate intermediate portion connecting the ends and secured to the lining, the said intermediate portion also having overlapping edges secured together on the face of the tie and also secured over the edges of the ends at the back of the tie.

3. A necktie having a lining, ends out on a bias and edges on said ends, and an ends by stitching, the intermediate portion intermediate portion cut straight, the interbeing extended so as to cover the edges of mediate portion having adjacent edges on the the ends at the back of the tie. face of the tie and extended so as to cover Signed at the city, county and State of 5 pirtls 0f the edges of the ends at the back New York, this 80th day of March, 1915. 15
